When is the next Iron Banner event?
Bungie has revealed that Iron Banner will next return on January 23, 2024, and will stay live until the weekly reset on January 30, 2024.
Season of the Wish’s previous Iron Banner took place from January 2, 2024, until January 9, 2024. The upcoming event is the last scheduled for Season 23 but given the season’s unusual length more are expected to come.
What is Iron Banner?
Iron Banner is a PvP game mode that only appears three times each season. Each week offers either a unique twist on an existing Crucible game mode or a unique mode exclusive to Iron Banner.
